115. The Haunted London Underground

We have all heard of ghost towns, but what about the ghost-facilities that exist within some of the world’s most-populated cities? What happens when a location associated with something as storied as London’s famous Underground is abandoned? What sorts of folklore builds up around it? In this episode, Matt discusses two such examples and what they may tell us about how Londoners view themselves and their city.

118 The Glorious Past and The Sordid Past Ghosthropology

In this episode, Matt considers how ghost stories reflect different views of American history and considers the type of ghost stories that may result from current events. While Ghosthropology is not a show about politics, it is impossible to discuss current events and history, along with their representation through ghost folklore, without delving a bit into the subject.  Full show notes: kmmamedia.com/podcasts/ghosthropology-podcast/ Facebook: facebook.com/ghosthroplogy Instagram: instagram.com/ghosthropod YouTube: youtube.com/@ghosthropology  Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/c/ghosthropology Email: ghosthropology@gmail.com
